Updated the software for my Kenwood DNX7180 navigation unit. Now I'm in the process of downloading the most recent map files from gpsunderground so that I can have a more current map version. The ones that garmin releases for Kenwood units are always a year old, and they charge $70 for it. By using the nuvi files which are updated a few times a year and people have unlocked them so you can use them without paying to unlock them, I can get the most recent map versions and not have to pay for it.

I was just considering a map update for my DNX-6960 a few days ago. PM me with details as to how you use the unlocked Nuvi files and where to snag them ... or a site that has a How-To? I'd love to save a little cash AND get my update.

Oh, and as for what I did to my truck, today:
I tore out my old backup camera and its custom mount just above the 7-spade connector and mounted a new one on the tailgate latch's bezel ... in basically the same location the OEM NNBS trucks equipped with backup cams have them. I started this late in the day and ran out of daylight, so reinstallation will have to wait until tomorrow.

This is prep for a zero-dollar mod I'll be doing, soon. (Sadly, work travel is slowing me down a lot.) More on that when it's done...

Washed my rims with heavy duty cleaner wow were they shinny after. Even took off the plastic insert to get around the lugs. Also washed the whole truck will be doing the windows tomorrow and maybe the interior.
